The CDH Annual Forum (CAAF) aims to connect families from around Australia affected by congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), to facilitate peer support and provide self-care workshops. The forum brings together families with healthcare professionals to share knowledge and inform practice so that care for families affected by CDH can improve.
